Apple doesn’t control their machine learning stack. The models they ship are likely created and trained on PCs running Linux and NVIDIA GPUs. It’s entirely possible they’ll extend the Neural Engine to be useful for training but they’d still need to contribute or convince others to contribute to the existing tooling.

The enduser doesn't care about training. iOS devs just care about APIs that Apple has built for them.

What about developers developing those models?
I think some worries are warranted.

You can do some refinement right now already (from WWDC 2019).
But yes, most models are trained on NVIDIA GPUs that are deep learning. All of the other model types can already be trained on regular CPUs.
